the societal level, government level -- he did not mention federalization. there's much more power at state level. all those for checks and balances of the president did the president cannot just name and throw out governors at a whim. the president has to answer to the media and congress. host: on twitter -- guest: the ise was created sort of as a result of pressures on the single party system in the 1990's. heavily organized and created an institution that is very independent, very strong. italy does guard the vote. everything is done completely -- it really does for the boat. everything is done completely transparently. the count of the votes is done in front of representatives of all the parties with the citizens present, so there is complete transparency in election itself. host: a headline from earlier this month in "the washington post" -- did we see any of that last night? guest: there were reports a little bit by with scare tactics, but more about buying votes. as long as their small-scale enough, they should not affect the main result. the truth is

and government begin. host: to our caller patrick, we actually recently had a segment on "washington journal" looking at fema. it's our monday "your money" segment and we looked at the funding of its emergency aid program and you can find that in our archives at the c-span.org web site. ruth is up next in oregon. caller: thank you for c-span. i disagree with the previous caller that the programming is not balanced. i think that you guys cover a lot of different points of view. but one of the things that i think your guest has neglected to mention is that the influence of unions, and politics because, you know, the afl-cio, all those groups, not only contribute large sums of money to their favorite political candidates who almost are consistently democrats, they're also pulling money from -- from their members and my particular experience is coming to oregon and i have no choice but being part of a union to do my job. and then i got a statement from the union saying that over $500 came from me against my wi
